During the academic years 2000-2001, research groups from the universities of Florence, Naples and Turin established a research project of Archaeological Research (conservation and maintenance of ruined buildings) within the framework of research programmes of national interest, which in turn was a development of a previous project initiated in the years 1984-1987, when research groups from the universities of Bologna, Florence, Naples and Urbino had begun a research programme on the definition of “archaeological restoration, involving preliminary studies and research, as well as application in selected areas. The results promoted in the following years further research programmes which allowed for the gathering of a large corpus of archival and bibliographic material, and for the production of specific diagnostic surveys which, also fostered by field work, suggested new directions for research.

Archaeological Restoration is an international journal which uses a peer-review system. The journal is not concerned exclusively with the restoration and valorisation of structures of archaeological interest but also with the various contexts regarding the fields related to the conservation of the cultural heritage, archaeological research and diagnostic methodologies.

Special attention is given to the multidisciplinary nature of the practice of restoration, as well as to the development of knowledge and the methodological and technical progress of the field.
